Just Like That
R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh If I could explain the joy I feel
All this love making is oh so real
Oh like winter time by the fireplace
Oh like trapped in walls and its no escape
Oh like a precious jewel with no price tag
Oh like waterfalls comin' down on me
Oh like tidal wave comin' from the sea
Oh like a favorite scene in a big movie
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (Oh)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (Oh just like)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby
Oh like you and me makin' history baby
Oh like a 99th anniversary
Oh like a baby when it speaks its first words
Oh like an uplifting song the first time heard
Oh like a shelter when the storm gets ruff
Oh like a mountain top from the bottom up
Oh like an expensive suite at the best hotel
Oh like a work of art when its unveiled
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (like that )
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (oh oh oh oh oh, If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (just like that yeah)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that (Oh)
Oh like a great blue sky's on a summer day
Oh like sitting close in a small cafe
Oh like making love to someone you love
Oh like breaking up then making up
Oh like a warm embrace when you come around
Oh like the sweetest words when your feeling down
Oh like lost inside of a mascaraed
Oh like a celebration in a big parade
Oh like a secret told to the one you trust
Oh like kissing you in a all white tux
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (Just like that, if you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (Just like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that
Like the moon, yeah when it glows at night,
And like the sun oh yeah when it shines real bright,
And just like the ocean when the well comes high,
Like an eagle when it soars in the sky
The song "Just Like That" by R. Kelly expresses the singer's inability to fully describe the joy he feels while making love with his significant other. The lyrics are a series of comparisons that attempt to capture the intensity and depth of his emotions. He compares the pleasure he experiences to various scenarios such as a winter night by the fireplace, being trapped in walls, or standing under a waterfall. He also compares his love to events like a baby speaking its first words, a shelter during the storm, or an expensive hotel suite.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that he cannot fully express his feelings but that his partner can experience it just like that, in the moment. He ends the song with various other comparisons, such as the moon glowing at night, the sun shining, and an eagle soaring in the sky, as if to convey that his joy is limitless and impossible to fully define through words.
Overall, the song depicts a passionate and intense love that cannot be fully articulated but is nonetheless deeply felt.
